Special Dispatch to the Appeal.
WAsuSGToN, Dec. 2I-There is a feel
ing here that the opposition manifested
against Mr.. I.amar's nomination will have
practically died out when the Senate re-
conyenes. Senator Edmunds, the chair
man Of the judiciary committee, which
has charge OF the nomination, and SEN
ator Ingalls,, m OF the leading Republican
members OF the committee, will both be
out OF the city a day or two after the re-
assembling OF Congress. This will permit
Of a majority report in favor OF Mr..
Lamar, and those who do not
wish TO join with the majority, when the
report comes up for action in the Senate,
will simply find it convenient to be absent.
There are many Republican senators
who will not vote in favor Of confirmation,
but some will not care to oppose without
avail, 10 that there is q solid, well defined
belief that Mr.. Lamar's nomination will
be confirmed. Ii will be n OF the things
considered ut the first weeks session after
the holidays.
